In the teaser for the film, Basketmouth shared that the story is inspired by real-life experiences. The film, which he co-wrote, features a talented cast including Nkem Owoh, Patience Ozokwor, Wale Ojo, and Mercy Johnson. The premiere is set for November, though the exact date is yet to be announced.
